Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture views symptoms of LPD as a result of poor reproductive health rather than an inability to conceive. This is why women, who have previously been told they are too old, poor responders, and have no options due to LPD, can become pregnant after their bodies achieve a state of balance and their reproductive health is restored. In our clinic, we use acupuncture, Chinese herbs, reproductive organ massage, and nutritional guidelines to restore your reproductive health and balance your system, which will increase your chances of conceiving both naturally and through artificial reproductive technologies.
Acupuncture increases the blood flow to the ovaries to nourish the developing follicles and create better egg quality and stronger corpus luteums. It also normalizes the function of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis to regulate and improve the body’s natural hormonal production which in turn improves ovarian function and egg quality. With improved follicle and corpus luteum quality, progesterone levels can normalize to produce a thicker uterine lining for implantation. Acupuncture also relaxes the body and reduces stress levels (elevated stress can prohibit conception by blocking blood flow to the reproductive organs and causing an imbalance in hormonal production, thus resulting in irregular menstrual cycles, lack of ovulation, high FSH levels, poor ovarian production, and diminished egg quality).
Chinese herbs build strong, nutrient-rich blood for the ovaries which will better nourish the developing follicles and create better corpus luteums, stronger egg quality, and ultimately stronger embryos. Chinese herbs also normalize the function of the Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Ovarian axis to regulate and improve the body’s natural hormonal production which in turn improves ovarian function and egg quality. The herbs also nourish the spleen, liver, and kidney systems which are responsible for our reproductive health.
Reproductive organ massage is a highly specialized form of therapeutic massage that manipulates the fascia of the pelvic cavity to unblock any obstruction in the reproductive organs and improve the blood flow to these organs, resulting in a balance of hormonal production, improved ovarian production and ovulation, regular menstrual cycles, lower FSH levels, better egg quality, and stronger embryos.
